When it comes to free SSL certificates, I definitely recommend Let’s Encrypt. It’s free to apply for, easy to install, and can be renewed indefinitely. Currently, the main website of wzfou.com uses Let’s Encrypt’s free SSL certificate. Some people worry that they cannot use Let’s Encrypt certificate without a VPS host. In fact, now you can directly apply for Let’s Encrypt online.
I spent an hour last night to change the VPS monitoring SSL certificate from the original TrustAsia or Symantec personal DV SSL certificate to a letsencrypt free SSL certificate. The reason is Chrome 70 I will no longer trust the Symantec certificate. The Chromium browser I am using can no longer open websites with Symantec certificates. The Symantec personal DV SSL certificate is applied for at Tencent Cloud. In fact, domestic Alibaba Cloud, Qiniu Cloud, Youpai Cloud, etc.
HTTPS and SSL certificates are now essential tools for website building. For enterprises, it is generally recommended to choose a paid SSL certificate. Firstly, it can display the brand and image of your enterprise. Secondly, the price of paid SSL certificate is still affordable for the enterprise. For individuals, the numerous free SSL certificates are also quite good.
Installing an SSL certificate for a website is now a routine action, but if you have dozens of websites with SSL certificates installed at the same time, you may forget to renew a certain SSL certificate due to your own negligence. For some websites with very high application requirements, it will bring considerable losses.
If we want to talk about the "big name" in free CDN services, I'm afraid it can only be CloudFlare.

Xrea is a free hosting product owned by Japan's GMO Internet Inc. It has provided free services for more than ten years.

Thanks to the free SSL certificates provided by Let’s Encrypt, Digicert, TrustAsia, Symantec, etc., the cost of using HTTPS is now negligible whether it is a personal website or a corporate website.
I have used Qiniu Cloud CDN for several years before. HTTPS was not very popular at that time, so it is very good to use Qiniu Cloud CDN to accelerate HTTP static files. The price is cheap and there are many domestic nodes. And it seems that Qiniu Cloud is the first to launch the mirror storage function, which can achieve seamless connection with CDN acceleration services. Nowadays, there are more and more major cloud storage merchants, and everyone’s choices are also diversified. In addition to Qiniu Cloud, others such as Youpai Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, etc.
